I made some changes to self-test and autotune key setting and it seems 
more stable now. One problem was the autotune key fuzzing would 
spuriously result in shorter keys (an xor resulting in 0), so formats 
that are sensitive to varying lengths would be "hurt". While that 
doesn't quite explain the things you saw fully, it seems quite good now:

Speed matches autotune's (actually we get even better speed than predicted).

A similar problem in self-test was that indexes between tested keys 
(indexes that core just skip) were filled with max-length plaintexts, 
now changed to same length as 1st test vector plaintext. Max length 
would slow things down considerably for formats like RAR or 7z, and to 
some extent md5crypt too. But it shouldn't affect benchmark results, 
only time for self-testing.

I'm currently experimenting with sorting keys by length for RAR-opencl 
and these issues made a lot of noise.
